Through undertaking an in depth study of the places and event spaces of dynamic Melbourne you will research, experiment and prepare a future scenario for this city under transformation.

During the subject you will be introduced to a range of digital and analogue tools that will assist in the mapping and documentation of the city leading to future strategies and/or designs.

Students can enrol now via their Study Plan in my.unimelb using the subject code ENVS10012.

The production team currently working on the second season of Utopia, a series by Working Dog which was aired on ABC last year, is seeking contributions for the opening titles of season two.

The program is a satire about the difficult process of taking grand, uncosted, inadequately planned, fundamentally flawed schemes - and passing them off as "Nation Building".

They are looking to include some 3D animated architectural renders in the opening titles of the program.

The work of MSD students featured in the opening titles of the first session and are now looking for some new renders to enhance the new version.

If you are interested in contributing work to this project or would like to find out more please contact Lydia Springhall.
